Neighbourlink Calgary

NeighbourLink is an award winning organization serving the city of Calgary. We started as a grass roots operation through a small group people who had three things in common: they noticed there was a need, they cared about that need and most importantly they wanted to act. In 1993 NeighbourLink officially became a registered charity operating solely through a network of volunteers until 2000 at which time we were finally able to hire one paid staff. Since then we have been declared an "Essential Social Service" by Service Canada to our city and are currently in our 23rd year of operation. NeighbourLink's primary purpose has not wavered; we are a non-profit organization that partners with other social service agencies, individuals, and corporations in order to provide essential resources and practical assistance to those who need it most. NeighbourLink helps more than 10, 000 unique clients in Calgary every year. Their needs include furniture, household items, baby supplies, food hampers, bus tickets and more. Our clients are screened financially, according to the "Low Income Cut off" set out by Statistics Canada. Clients come from all walks of life, and are all different types of people: Families, Individuals, Single Parents, New Canadians, Refugees, Disabled Persons, and Senior Citizens.
